Title: Power V Torque Video (nice choice of car to use for demonstration)
Post by: Dazzler on July 31, 2017, 12:00:53

I'm not into all these equations (even though I did advanced maths at Matriculation college) but I liked the car he used in this video... It get lots of exposure! Nice colour too!

Should try that experiment one day @Dazzler.  I just love John's unique videos and honest approach to all things to do with motoring.

@NayuluTjuta

I've got a bit of a love/hate relationship with him. He's a "legend in his own lunchtime" sort of guy, but I like his honest approach and his i30 bias. I think he may have toned down his "holier than thou" approach a bit in the last few months.

Cheers,

Dazz

@NayuluTjuta
"legend in his own lunchtime"

:lol: I often use the term "legend in his own mind" but I think your version adds a new humorous twist I might use in the future :D

Being in the UK I have not seen much that he has done - but what I have seen has been sound well thought out stuff. This one is no exception - he transported me back to university "Theory of Machines" principles expressed in simple terms.

I shuddered a bit when I saw that. I hope nobody decided to do that to mine with permanent texta after seeing that video!  :sweating:

I bet he used a white board marker - it rubs off easily

Yes, I thought the same thing. A vandal however wouldn't be so considerate...  :sweating:
